Dusty's Gourmet Dog House

Simply put… AMAZING!! From the very first bite, it’s clear that everything on the menu is crafted with love, passion, and genuine care. The burgers were incredibly juicy and packed with flavor, while the waffle fries were perfectly crispy and seasoned to absolute perfection. Every detail speaks volumes—the high-quality bacon, the beautifully buttered buns—it’s obvious the owners take immense pride in what they serve. The owners are warm, welcoming, and create a true family-style atmosphere that makes you feel right at home—we honestly lost track of time while we were there. The staff was friendly, attentive, and accommodating, and the venue itself was spotless and well lit. Dusty’s Dogz isn’t just a place to eat—it’s an experience. We’ll definitely be back

Absolutely phenomenal food and great staff! Dusty’s Dogz nails every detail — incredible flavor, juicy burgers, perfectly cooked bacon, and buttery grilled buns. You can tell they truly care about what they’re serving. I’ve been several times now and after eating through most of the menu, I can attest that everything on the menu is great. Lauren and her team consistently do an amazing job. If you’re visiting the Mackinac area, this spot should be at the top of your list!

We had a wonderful experience at Dusty’s Dogz! The atmosphere was amazing — warm, inviting, and perfect for a relaxed meal. The food was absolutely delicious, and we were especially impressed by the friendly and helpful service. The staff member who attended to us was kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. As someone who eats gluten-free, I was so happy to find great gluten-free options on the menu. It’s not always easy to find places that accommodate dietary needs so well, and this was a huge plus! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food, a great vibe, and excellent service. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I had breakfast, lunch and dinner, here while at the Pond Hockey Championship. All three meals were exceptional. The home made biscuits and gravy were the best I ever had and the smash burger was to die for! This is a must have restaurant, if you’re ever stopping in St. Ignace!

We were looking for a spot since Clyde's was crowded, and this was an extremely welcome surprise. A very nice spot. Fast and friendly service. Ample seating, inside and outside. The hot dogs were unique and fun, but not over-the-top or inedible (with New England-style buns, which was a welcome surprise). The beverages are very Michigan too, with plenty of Faygo in the fridges. Easy to get to from the highway, and right downtown in St. Ignace. Highly recommend.
